"The Pledge is being prohibited"

Where did you get that idea? It appears that the state is prohibiting people from refraining to Pledge. (In other words, requiring students to recite the pledge, which is the issue I have a problem with).

Students are required to learn a lot of stuff in school they don't necessarily like. In your view, the Pledge should be exception to that requirement. Why? Its not like patriotism is a form of religion you can practice in private. Either you love your country or you can leave it. Quite personally, I'd be happy as a clam if every liberal packed their bags and moved to Canada. This country the way it is, is for some reason, just never quite good enough for them. I mean what Americans feel and think and believe doesn't measure up to their exacting standards.
